Time for Tea?

Hello, Dear Ones! I set up another little useful vignette in my kitchen and went kinda neutral with the Fallness.

I poked my big ole white platter up on a plate stand for a background and also because there is a metal phone jack on the subway tile put in by the previous owners. So...I try to cover it up when I can.

Okie dokie! I was walking through Marshalls not long ago and of course I was in the clearance aisle and saw this darling little cow couple creamer and sugar bowl. For $3.99 I had to have them.

Tell me the truth, could you have passed up this little couple? Look at the painting on their little bodies and the little tiny dot eyes! Love love love!

Now to show you the usefulness of this vignette. This sweet little sugar bowl holds...

Fake sugar! Just a perfect spot for me as the cups and mugs are in the cabinet just above this space.

Then I've used a blue and white canister, pieces don't have to match you know, and it holds my favorite tea bags. Tea bags and fake sugar right where I need them.

Then just because, I've placed one of my scales down and poked a pun'kin on top! This works for me. I also wanted you to see the cute little faces on my new little cows again! Are you ready for a cup of tea?

Be a bunch of sweeties,

Shelia ;)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~

Have A Cuppa Tea

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'

And she's always puffin' and pantin'
And she's always screamin' and shoutin'
And she's always brewin' up tea

Grandpappy's never late for his dinner
'Cos he loves his leg of beef
And he washes it down with a brandy
And a fresh made cup of tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea

If you feel a bit under the weather
If you feel a little bit peeved
Take granny's stand by potion
For any old cough or wheeze
It's a cure for hepatitis, it's a cure for chronic insomnia
It's a cure for tonsillitis, and for water on the knee

Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper time
You get tea when it's rainin', tea when it's snowin'
Tea when the weather's fine
You get tea as a mid day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
For any old ailment or disease
For Christ sake have a cuppa tea

Your tea station is lovely! The little cow sugar and creamer set is precious... and pretty too! :) Hope you are having a great week so far! And thanks so much for your always encouraging comments! You are a rare jewel! ~Rhonda

Thank you so much for a cup of tea. Love all your pretties in your vignette. The cow creamer and sugar bowl are darling. I got my first cow creamer, it's all in white and I love her.Happy Halloween - I know you will be spending it with those two little cuties.Mary

Beautiful vignette Shelia, Love your sweet cow creamer couple. They are too cute! I have a large white platter very similar to yours. It does make the perfect backdrop. I'm always trying to cover outlets and phone jacks too. Love your scale topped with the pumpkin. Enjoy the day. xo

Wonderful "camouflage" job! I really wish builders would consult a woman, any woman, even their wives, before they start plunking plugs and outlets here and there at random, don't you? There is always the challenge of trying figure out how to cover it and keep it functional!

I love the way you just POKE things down here and there. You sure are a good POKER! lol I love how you have pulled it all together and your little cows are cute as can be! That orange pumpkin really plays off the blue perfectly. xo Diana

Shelia, this may be post twice. I apologize if it does. I have your cow sugar and creamer. I've never seen one that is a sugar keeper. You did a great job of creating a vignette that is pretty and functional. That's a great scale too.
